About this listen

Why is it that some people work hard, yet remain poor? How is it that others seem to rise out of poverty and become affluent in a short span of time? The answers are in this little book, which everyone should listen to at some point in their life. If they did, they would know how to become rich relatively quickly. If not, they might spend years working back-breakingly hard, without ever breaking even. That’s how powerful the principles contained in this book are.

The answers to escaping poverty and becoming wealthy are actually well known; they have been tested by time and replicated in different countries, by families and by individuals who have become astonishingly rich. And when you simply follow the principles, they work.

So what are these principles that genuinely lift people out of poverty and ensure their personal wealth? Here are 50. They all work. They will make you richer. They remove the emotion, the politics and the clutter from our thoughts about wealth, and they go straight to the heart of one simple issue: what it genuinely takes to become rich. Prepare to train your brain for wealth. Prepare to become "poverty proof" for life.

Short and to the point

I really enjoyed this book. Narrated by the author, it offers plenty of practical advice on how to get the basics right, namely to have more money coming in than going out whatever your level of income.

One minor irritation was the way the narrator pronounced 'entrepreneur', but I don't doubt he might be annoyed by my pronunciation too!

Good ideas but focusing on cheap habits more

The book is direct to the point. The best part is the fish and the list; emotionless actions.

I found lot of irrelevant points but also many relevant ones.

Its good overall as it is not a long book.

Some great wealth building ideas

Thanks Douglas, I enjoyed the book and plan to implement a few ideas from it. I will definitely have to listen to it again for the knowledge to sink in.
P. S. I still don't quite understand how getting married and staying married makes you wealthier?

Down to earth

Ideas were well illustrated and easy to follow. Book was well narrated and seem to be based on author's personal experiences at large.

Sound advice for wealth generation

Douglas has provided some succinct and sound advice for wealth generation here. Although he often referrers to finance management using South African examples, his strategies transfer over to all peoples regardless of locale. I'd recommend this audiobook for all concerned with general finance management. It's a worthwhile listen to keep on repeat for the reprogramming of paradigms along with a general improving of ones personal growth.
